Work For Your Candidates
There is more at stake than usual in local elections this year which makes the "usual good reasons"
for your participation more important than ever.
. The "usual reasons," of course, are that local officials know your problems best, are in a position to
speqd your money the most wisely, and should care
the most about improving our community. Sending
problems (and most of the money to solve them) to
Washington or the state capitol in many cases has
proved to be an ineffective and expensive way to
avoid responsibility for action on local needs.
Now we have federal revenue sharing. Our local
officials will be responsible for the prudent spending
of the dollars the federal government is returning to
our community. The reasoning behind the circular
route our money takes from here to the nation's capitol and back is somewhat mind-boggling, but local officials now have a responsibility they cannot sloug-h-
off: using federal money to meet essential community
heeds.
A. strong local government is the foundation of
our democracy. It is where government can work best
to solve problems. And.a whole nation needi not be burdened when mistakes are made.
Let's make local government more responsible by
working to insure tho best local government possible.

No Sale On Ambassadorships
Today's exercise in empathy is to put yourself
in the position of a career man in the Foreign Service who finds himselff occupying a relatively minor
post despite his demonstrated ability and years in the
service. He has his eye on an assignment as ambassador to Suchardsuch—only to see this diplomatic
plum handed on a platter to someone with the potent
qualification of having contributed a hundred thousand
or so to the party coffers.
It would be hard to make a good case for the
contention that under no circumstances should anyone outside the Foreign Service be tapped for a principal diplomatic assignment. That would rule out such
extraordinarily able men as W. Averell Harriman and
our present representative in China, David K. E.
Bruce. It can be strongly argued, however, that for the
sake of both fairness ahd doing wh*at is best in the
national interest, experienced and well trained career men should be given precedence over all but the
very ablest "outsiders.''
When one comes to the business of rewarding
heavy contributors with diplomatic posts, the arguments against this are overwhelming. This custom
demeans our whole system of diplomatic representation abroad. Moreover, it works against the national
interest to make partisan generosity the sole—or at
any rate the primary—criterion by which persons are
chosen for important posts.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is on
the point of taking corrective action. It is reportedly about to propose two things to the State Department. One is that the number of ambassadors from
outside the Foreign Service be limited to about 15
per cent of the total. The other is that henceforth the
committee, in passing on ambassadorial .nominations,
would frown on any nominee who had given more than
$10,000, to a presidential campaign fund.
The monetary limitation strikes us as too rigid,
though we agree with it on principle. We are, however, fully in sympathy with the idea of drawing the
bulk of ambassadors from the Foreign Service. The
custom of entrusting America's relations with foreign
governments to persons chosen on the strength of
their campaign gifts is outmoded and dangerous.
Anti-Noise Law Needed
William IVf. Magriider, a presidential consultant
who once directed the push for the raucous SST, is
now on the side of the angels so far as noise control
legislation is concerned. He has just pleaded, as an
administration spokesman, for enactment at this session of a law to curb aircraft noise.
That would involve a compromise between Senate
arid House versions. The latter would give the Federal
•Aviation Administration authority over aircraft noise;
the Senate bill places ccntrol in the hands of the Environmental Protection Agency. The point is not without importance, but getting an aircraft noise law on
the statute books is more important. The alternative
is considerably more delay. We agree that this matter
Should be dealt with at once.
Hoovers Great
Britain Plant
Plans Expansion
Plans for the biggest industrial expansion by Hoover
anywhere in the world were
revealed recently in London by
Felix N. Mansager, president
and chairman.
Hoover Limited, which is an
affiliate of The Hoover
Company, will increase its
production area by over 1.25
million square feet at a cost
of $70,000,000.
The new facilities will
enable Hoover, already Britain's largest manufacturer of
vacuum cleaners, washing
machines and other consumer
durable.:;, to increase production by 50 per cent.
The major portion of the expansions will take place at
Hoover Limited's plants in
Merthry Tydfil, Wales and in
Cambuslang, Scotland. Hoover
has another manufacturing
complex in Perivale, asuburb
of London.
Completion date for the projects is scheduled for 1977.
The new expansion at
Merthyr Tydfil will be done in
two phases.Thefirstwillstart
in January 1974 and is scheduled for completion in January
1976. The second stage should
start in August.1975 and be in
operation by July 1977.
Merthyr Tydfil is the' company's center of production for
washing'machines, dryers and
dishwashers.
fhe first phase of the Cambuslang addition will also start
in January 1974 with one-half
the space available in March
1975 and total completion
scheduled for June 1976.
The second phase will also
be built in two stages of equal
size. Completion is expected
in June 1977.
In addition, an ex-Rolls
Royce factory of 138,000
square feet was leased at
Hamiltoh, Lanarkshire, a few
miles fromCambuslang.Scot-
land.
Canbuslang produces small
household appliances such as
fan heaters, toasters, hair
dryers, irons and kettles. It
also produces many motors
and components for Hoover
laundry appliances. The Cambuslang plant manufactures
practically all the company's
vacuum cleaners.
At the Perivale, Middlesex,
factory emphasis is moving
from the manufacture of upright cleaners to that of the
highly specialized manufacture of motors and controls for
Hoover appliances.
- Perivale will continue to be
the headquarters office of
Hoover Limited.

Today's exercise in empathy is to put yourself

or so to the party coffers.
It would be hard to make a good case for the
contention that under no circumstances should anyone outside the Foreign Service be tapped for a principal diplomatic assignment. That would rule out such
extraordinarily able men as W. Averell Harriman and
our present representative in China, David K. E.

very ablest "outsiders.''

demeans our whole system of diplomatic representation abroad. Moreover, it works against the national
interest to make partisan generosity the sole—or at
any rate the primary—criterion by which persons are

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is on
the point of taking corrective action. It is reportedly about to propose two things to the State Department. One is that the number of ambassadors from
outside the Foreign Service be limited to about 15
per cent of the total. The other is that henceforth the
committee, in passing on ambassadorial .nominations,

$10,000, to a presidential campaign fund.
The monetary limitation strikes us as too rigid,
though we agree with it on principle. We are, however, fully in sympathy with the idea of drawing the
bulk of ambassadors from the Foreign Service. The
custom of entrusting America's relations with foreign
governments to persons chosen on the strength of
their campaign gifts is outmoded and dangerous.

and chairman.
Hoover Limited, which is an
affiliate of The Hoover
Company, will increase its
production area by over 1.25
million square feet at a cost
of $70,000,000.
The new facilities will
enable Hoover, already Britain's largest manufacturer of
vacuum cleaners, washing
machines and other consumer
durable.:;, to increase production by 50 per cent.
The major portion of the expansions will take place at
Hoover Limited's plants in
Merthry Tydfil, Wales and in
Cambuslang, Scotland. Hoover

Completion date for the projects is scheduled for 1977.
The new expansion at
Merthyr Tydfil will be done in
two phases.Thefirstwillstart
in January 1974 and is scheduled for completion in January
1976. The second stage should
start in August.1975 and be in
operation by July 1977.
Merthyr Tydfil is the' company's center of production for
washing'machines, dryers and
dishwashers.
fhe first phase of the Cambuslang addition will also start
in January 1974 with one-half
the space available in March
1975 and total completion
scheduled for June 1976.
The second phase will also
be built in two stages of equal
size. Completion is expected
in June 1977.
In addition, an ex-Rolls
Royce factory of 138,000
square feet was leased at

miles fromCambuslang.Scot-
land.
Canbuslang produces small
household appliances such as
fan heaters, toasters, hair
dryers, irons and kettles. It
also produces many motors
and components for Hoover
laundry appliances. The Cambuslang plant manufactures
practically all the company's
vacuum cleaners.
At the Perivale, Middlesex,
factory emphasis is moving
from the manufacture of upright cleaners to that of the
highly specialized manufacture of motors and controls for
Hoover appliances.
